The combination of limited energy availability, hormonal dysfunction, and poor bone health create both short and long-term consequences on performance and health for many female athletes. These includeimpairments in performance, bone stress injuries, and increased risk of fractures with aging. With young athletes facing increasing familial and societal pressure to exceed athletically, this issue is prominent and crucial to address. The purpose of this presentation is to describe the broad-spectrum RED-S, discuss recognition of risk factors and identification of the components, and provide evidence for physical therapy intervention as part of a multidisciplinary treatment approach in this population. This platform is an opportunity to provide information on the role of the physical therapist in participating in the evaluation and treatment of this population, in the hopes of improving both short and long-term outcomes for these athletes.left57150Laura Fisher PT, DPT, PhD, OCS graduated from Hardin Simmons University with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2008.

The purpose of this educational session is to describe the implementation and initial results of a primary/secondary prevention clinical practice model administered by physical therapists (PTs) in partnership with a community referral partner. Oakland University has done substantial research and implementation to provide early preventative interventions to senior citizens at risk of being homebound by facilitating partnerships between local senior community centers and PTs. Three key aims of prevention-PT programs include: 1) Establishing partnerships between senior community centers and PTs to provide direct referrals to preventative physical therapy services, 2) Leveraging the skills and knowledge of a PT to provide a bridge between the local community and the medical system, and 3) Providing a strong body of evidence demonstrating the value of integrating prevention-PT programs into the standard of care for aging adults.This educational program will provide supportive evidence for initiating prevention focused-PT programs for older adults, addressing common age-related risk factors using a primary/ secondary prevention approach, and funding a scalable home-based prevention program. Additionally, the program protocol, inclusive of its unique referral mechanism will be detailed. Valid and reliable pretest- posttest outcome assessments and the associated interventions related to the individual’s health behaviors, home environment safety, and associated fall risk using will be outlined.0-1889Chris Wilson, PT, DPT, DScPT is an Assistant Professor at Oakland University.
